Contents:

• Forward/Side/Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist malfunction and limitations

Braking intervention is released approximately two seconds after shifting into D (Drive) or approximately five minutes after shifting into R (Reverse). Once braking control is released, immediately press the brake pedal and carefully check the area around the vehicle before continuing.

Braking assistance is cancelled in the following situations:

• The transmission is shifted to P (Park) or R (Reverse).

• The driver applies sufficient braking force manually.

Rear safety function

For rear safety operation, braking assistance is generally released after approximately five minutes. Before the release occurs, the driver should firmly press the brake pedal and verify that the surroundings are clear.

Braking control is cancelled when:

• The transmission is shifted into P (Park) or D (Drive).

• Sufficient manual braking force is applied by the driver.

NOTE

Forward/Side/Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist malfunction and limitations

Forward/Side/Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist malfunction

A: Check Driver Assistance system.

If a malfunction occurs within the Forward/Side/Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist system of the Kia EV6, or if one of its related sensors or control components experiences an issue, a warning message will appear on the instrument cluster. This alert informs the driver that the system may no longer be able to provide reliable collision warnings or automatic braking assistance.

If the warning remains active after restarting the vehicle, or if the system does not operate normally, have your Kia EV6 inspected by an authorized Kia dealer as soon as possible. Prompt diagnosis helps ensure that all parking safety functions continue to perform correctly.

Forward/Side/Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist disabled

A: Driver Assistance system limited. Ultrasonic sensor blocked.

The wide-view cameras and ultrasonic sensors installed around the Kia EV6 continuously monitor the vehicle's surroundings. If snow, ice, mud, rain, road salt, dust, or other contaminants accumulate on these sensors, Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist may become temporarily restricted or unavailable.

Normal operation generally resumes after the affected sensors are cleaned. To ensure optimal performance, always keep the cameras and ultrasonic sensors free from contamination. If the warning remains visible after cleaning, the Kia EV6 should be inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.
